Eichel becomes youngest Sabres rookie to score 20 goals

Jack Eichel is unlike any previous Buffalo Sabres rookie.

The 19-year-old collected his 20th goal of the season Monday against division foes, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

In the process, Eichel became the first teenage rookie to hit the 20-goal mark in franchise history while also making him the first Sabres rookie to collect 20 goals in a season since Tyler Ennis did so during the 2010-11 campaign.

The goal now sees Eichel just four goals back of Chicago Blackhawks forward Artemi Panarin for the rookie lead in goals.
